A summer wedding at Davenport House in Shropshire with a gorgeous outdoor ceremony and stunning wedding flowers.

Rustic wedding venue in Staffordshire which is picture perfect.

As a wedding photographer, documenting this London wedding was one of my highlights of the year. This elopement was planned a couple of months before the big day when my couple decided that the big wedding wasn’t for them and they wanted to elope instead.

Eastington Park is a one of my favourite wedding venues to photograph in Gloucestershire. It’s situated just off the motorway so it’s really easy for your guests to get to, and it’s surrounded by acres of parkland so there’s so many options for outdoor ceremonies, family wedding portraits and of course – couple portraits.

I was really excited about photographing my first Chinese/English fusion wedding. I really wanted to get a deep understanding of all of the features of the day so that I could be in the best possible place to capture the action, so this meant meeting with the couple beforehand to talk through their wedding day.

As a wedding photographer and a previous bride myself, I know how daunting it can be to find a wedding photographer. There are so many wedding photographers to choose from and it’s so hard to know where to start. Should you pick a photographer who’s local to you? Should you go for a documentary style wedding photographer, a editorial style wedding photographer, or something in between? Is it better to go for a full day package, or a shorter one?
